Either lift the vehicle while on the jack or get a higher lift hydraulic jack for the engine cradle or the pig, that lifts 40" like I have.

The lift has a bridge for a small jack so you can remove the wheels.

Price
 
The price is way out of line in my opinion. Buy 4 of these instead. http://www.asedeals.com/flat-top-jack-stands.html

They're OK, but

There a lot more room under the car with a KwikLift. And the lift price is worth it considering the added safety. I will not work under any vehicle supported by jack stands no matter how good they are.

Friends of mine won't work underneath a Ford, no matter how good it is either. So what?:D

How do you deploy the stand while having the jack in operation? there is no room there. I mean, you have to use the jack to lift the car and the jack is exactly where the stand should be.

I've worked under many cars on stands and I feel safe after I do a few safey checks and have proper jack stands for the vehicle. I also put the wheels from the car by the frame just in case so I am not 100% crushed by the car

I would love a two post lift but I cannot afford one or have a place for it.

If there were any prices, I missed them. What did the one you have cost?

I like it. I don't like to let a cars suspension hang like that for long length of times like jack stands do. This one solves it for, what I consider, a decent price.

What interests me is why the " HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK" model when you buy the "Kwiklift special" package is cheaper than buying it non package price at $1697. Looks like the deal is there on that one to me.

And what does the Heavy duty truck model hold?

rurlndum 01-01-2009 06:11 PM
Truck model
 
7,000 lbs.

cphilip 01-01-2009 06:23 PM
Thats not what I might call a Heavy duty truck... I would need at least 9000 to suit me... but... still might be the one to buy I would think. For the money.

Matt L 01-01-2009 06:34 PM
The site mentions this: you don't need a 9000 lb lift for a 9000 lb GVWR vehicle.
